Former Butler School Board member Bill Halle did not have charges dropped after a hearing late last month.
Halle’s attorney filed a Habeas Corpus in attempt to have charges against Halle dropped. The appeal claimed prosecutors did not provide enough evidence for the charges to stand in court and the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 17.
The judge denied this filling and court proceedings will continue.
A hearing is currently scheduled for next week and all charges including sexual assault by a volunteer or employee of a nonprofit, criminal use of a communication facility, criminal solicitation – sexual assault by volunteer or employee of nonprofit has been held for court.
